So there are lots of different resources out there on the internet, including from local governments.
But actually, almost all of them use the same source material.
And you can just go to that source, which is called the Sea Level Rise Viewer.
Ben Hamlington, the scientist you heard from, worked on it.
And we'll put a link in the show notes.
Yeah, definitely.
This actually goes back to the uncertainty piece we were talking about before.
You know, sea level rise in the next few decades is pretty unavoidable.
Like cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
wouldn't make a big difference right away.
But that doesn't mean it's useless to pivot to cleaner energy.
If humans stopped pumping planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere now, sea level rise after 2050 would be a lot less severe.
So just by using sources of energy like solar and wind, sources that don't emit as many greenhouse gases, we can still avoid really catastrophic amounts of sea level rise.
And we're talking, you know, three, four, even 10 feet
higher than the ocean is today.
That kind of extreme sea level rise will happen if we do nothing and let all the ice sheets melt.
But our choices today can avoid that.
Very little rain fell in the Ohio Valley region in August, according to the new data.
It was the driest August on record, going back more than 130 years.
And it was the second driest August ever recorded for the Northeast.
